This is the second installment of the “My Year In Lists” feature, which will culminate next week with my picks for the Top Albums of 2010.
As I was readying this feature, I was a little bummed to see that I went to less shows in 2010 than I did last year. With my finances not as strong as they once were (Thanks, life!), I had to be a little more selective about what I saw. I missed a few great shows (Interpol, Wolf Parade, Sonic Youth/Warpaint ACL Aftershow), but I did manage to see some absolutely incredible sets from many great bands, wheter it was the first time I experienced them or if they were repeats. Without further ado, here is the list of shows I attended this year. All pictures were snapped by me unless otherwise noted. Enjoy!

I do consider all the ideas you’ve presented to your post. They are really convincing and will certainly work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. May just you please prolong them a bit from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
Amazing! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Excellent choice of colors!
